Vulnerability in Windows Services for UNIX Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (939778). Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code with escalated privileges by running a specially crafted setuid binary. Impact level: System/Application. The flaw is due to an unspecified error in Windows Services for UNIX and the Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications component when handling connection credentials for setuid binaries. This host is missing a critical security update according to Microsoft Bulletin MS07-053
